Passive Vibration Suppression of Flexible Space Structures via Optimal Geometric Redesign

Abstract
A computational framework is presented for the design of large flexible space structures with nonperiodic geometries to achieve passive vibration suppression. The present system combines an approximation model management framework (AMMF) developed for evolutionary optimization algorithms (EAs) with reduced basis approximate dynamic reanalysis techniques. A coevolutionary genetic search strategy is employed to ensure that design changes during the optimization iterations lead to low-rank...
